The Gleaner cutter, which broughtdispatches to Plymouth, came troin Constantinople., and on her way fell in with our fleet. She also touched at Gibraltar on the 24th, and Cadiz on the 26t.11 ult. At these respedive dates all was bustle and activity at both places—at the former expefling, at the lat ter defending an attack ; hut before any material operation can take: place against either, the French have to rebuild all their batteries which were direa ed against them, our troops and seamen b i avjnz blown them all up, on learning the approach of the enemy. We have five sail of the line at Cadiz, and some frigates; all the Spaniards are moved from the inner harbour, down abreast of the town, and a strong fortification is thrown across the isthmus, which must be carried before the town itself may be attacked, for our troops are in possession of the whole Island of Leon, every inch of which is to be defended to the last extremity. WIIIMSICAL INCIDENT.—The SPEAKER of the House of Commons a day or two ago, observing a clan digging close to his house, asked him what he was doing. The man whose accent denoted Hi bt.rriiiin origin, simply answered, digging.

They have been examined two or three times before the Magistrates, and stand committed. The imita tion of the coin is extremely correct they ring very well, and can only be discovered by weight.

H, FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARC H 1.--The Se nate me t on t h e 27t h • ult. at halt past one o'clock. The Prince Arch . Chancellor, who presided on the occasion, fead the following Message ftcm his Majesty : " SRNATORS,—We have dispatched to Vienna, as our Ambassador Extraordinary, our cousin the, Prince of Neufchatel, to solicit the hand of the Archduchess Maria• Louisa, daughter of the Empe ror of Austria. • " We have given orders to the Minister for Fo reign Relations to lay before you the Articles of the Treaty of Marriage between us and the Archduchess Maria-Louisa, which has been concluded, signed, and ratified. " We have been de'sirous of eminently contri buting to the happiness of the present generation. The enemies of the Continent have founded their prosperity upon its dissensions and divisions. They can no longer nourish war, by imputing to us pro jeBs incompatible with the ties and duties of affi nity, which we have just contraaed with the Im perial House reigning in Austria. . " Tbe brilliant qualities which• distinguish the Arch-duchess Maria-Louisa have acquired her the love of the people of Austria. They have fixed our regards. Our people will love this Princess from their - love for us, until, being witnesses of all the virtues Which have given her so high eplace in our thoughts, they shall love her for herself. " Given at our Palace of Thuilleries, this 27th of February, is to: • (Signed) "NAPOLEON." After the Message was read,. the Duke de Ca- . dore cotnriihnicated to the Senate the Articles of the Marriage treaty, which are in the usual form. The. Senate appointed Counts Gentler, Lacepede, Laplace, Jancourt, Cornet, Barthelemy, De Merode, De Fothanes, and the Duke of Valtny, as a Com mittee, to draW up an Address to his Majesty, and adjourned to Saturday the 3d instant. • It is reported that the Articles of the Treaty rela tive to the Emperov's marriage, are; with regard to portion, dowry, and jewels, in all respeas the same as those in the marriage treaties in preceding reigns between- the Kings and Dauphins of France, and the , Princesses of Austria. We are assured, that the Duchess of Bassano, and the Countesses Montmorency, de Bouille, and de Lauriston, are on the point of setting off for Brannan, which is on the frontier of Austria: It is added, that her •Majesty the Queeti df Naples will speedily take the same route. His Majesty the Emperor presided yesterday at a meeting of the Council of State. M. Rufin, one of the French Ccinabiti, passed through Nancy on the isth ult. on his way to Con stantinople. A letter frond-Inspruck; of the gth ult. says, that General Baraguay d'Hilliers hatigiven a prpte&ion 19 the wife of Andrew Hoffer, that she may reside,un molested in the inn belonging to her husband. The latter had written to her from Mantua, that he was well treated by the French, and that she should hear again from 'him from Milan. It was reported that all the French troops were to evacuate the Tyrol, and that they were lobe relieved by Bavarian troops. From a report by General Gully to the Minister at War, it appears that the late expedition cost the English the loss of 15,000 men. In.the months of August and September they bad 10,000 sick, of whona 9;soo,died in Waleheren ; 5,500 were em barkedlor England, but it is known that of these 1,000 died'on the passage, or soon after their arrival. They had from 3 . t0 400 killed at Flushing; and two vessels . , containing 1100 . men, were wrecked on the banks of Westcapel. Their, loss in stores was also very great; I 5 vessels, laden with various article*, foundered two days before the departure of the squadron. Atrassuito, FEB. 15.--3ugar fell 30 per cent. htre the instant it was known that the English con voy, which entered the Baltic in December had landed a considerable quantity of that article in the Prussian ports. whence it is conveyed into the inte rior of Germany. HANovex, FEB. 16.—The French Authorities re ceived dispatches this day from Cassel, announcing, we understand, the union of Hanover with the kingdom of Westphalia. His Excellency, the Go vernor-General, Lasalcette, convoked, at one o'clock, the Members of the Commission of Government, to w4om he communicated the contents of the dis patches. The day alter to-morrow a nu merous De putation of the States and Colleges is to proceed. to Cassel. ' BAYONNE, FEB. 12.—Accounts from Madrid stale, that on the 6th inst. 2000 prisoners of war ar rived there, who lud beau taken in' the battle of Montizon. AIANTOA, FEB. The celebrated Andreas Hofer, the Chief of the Tyrolese Insurgents, arrived here on the sth inst. escotted by some Fens d'armes. He was, together with one of his accomplices, con veyed to the military prison in .thc citadel, whets he is closely guarded. AUGSBURG, Fab. 12.—1 t is understood, that the negotiations between the Turks and Servians have not taken a favourable • turn,, and that the parties cannot agree. the Turkish Government insists on the entire submission of the Servians, which the latter peremptorily refuses. We, may, therefore, soots exited the recommencement of hostilities; for which preparations have already-been made on both sides. ' VIENNA, FEB. 10.—Private letters from Turkey mention, that the English Envoy at Constantinople, Mr. Adair, has been refit ested to take his departure; and that orders had been already given to strengthen the forts of the Dardanelles. It is also added, that negociations are carrying on for peace between Russia and Turkey, under. the mediation ofFranee. The most curous specimen of Stock at Lord So merville's show, was exhibited by the Rev. James Willis, consisting of six wethers; the .produce of six different breeds of ewes,' which fully convinced the farming world, that the wool of all of them was greatly improved, and the carcase at the same time by no means injured, by the cross of a Merino ram. The crosses were, Leicester, Rye land, DOwn, Dorset, Wiltshire,. and New Forest - Heath Cropper. POETir TO THE MBAIORY' OF :ANN BEAUCLERK. SY DSlt . JERNINGHAIII. the many a winter passing o'er thy tomb Has Chill% thy ashes, and has snock'd thy doom; Tho' many a summer, fraught with softest air, _ Has kiss'd thy grave, and tb linger there : 'rho' autumn, as impress'd with conscious grief, Hes strew'd the holy spot with many a leaf; 'rho' deck'd with early tiow'rs, full many a spring. Has hurried o'er thy form with envious wing; Nor with one snow-drop grac'd the hallow'd way, Vecause thyself a purer snow-drop lay. Yet shill thy Friends thy hanourd name revere, While so their grief thy virtues still are dear; They still recall, with an impassion'd . mind, The pleasing scenes stern Time has thrown behind; When thy lov'd preFence, like a heav'nly guest, Rais'd a soft extacy in ev'ry breaSt. For me, now . bending from the blow of TimCe And,all unfit to build the lofty rhyme,. The thought of thee conveys a transient fire, • And my soul wakes the long-de§erted lyre. No later accounts have been received-from Ca diz than those which we yesterday communicated to the public. . • The folloWing letter, we believe, contains a pretty accurate description of the state of the place " CADtz, Fee. 22.—The French seem ,to be aug menting their strength round this city, and have thrown up seeerral batteries,and other works near St. Mary's. We do not think that, until they re ceive considerable reinforcements, they will venture to invest Cadiz. Provisions ate said to be very plenti ful in the enatuy's camps, end no doubt.it is so. • " The garrison here is stated to amount to above 30,000, but I believe this to be in exaggeration. They consist of Spaniards, English, and some Pot - - Augtiese.. These are more than are nece/sary for Or defence ; and if they were increased, I should think it rather a misfortune than a benefit, as the inhahi 'tants are so numerous, and provisions will soon not be very abundant. " We are told that the Duke of ALBUQUERQUII has it in idea to make a sally upon the enemy •when a favourable opportunity offers ; but if it takes place at all, it should be done quickly. " The shipping in the harbour continue to destroy the works . of - ' the enemy, and to molest them as much as possible. They have killed a considerable number of the French, out we have sustained some damage." BRITISH INSTiTLITION.-We noticed generally the opening of this excellent Asylum for rising genius, and we mean to give due attention to the prominent Merits of the several productions of the present year. The picture in the Flemish style by SHARP, is deservedly admired, and there were many cornpAitors for the purchase Of it. The ex pressiOn of the clLild who has rashly taken a pinch of snuff, and is on the eve of sneezing, is most hap pily delineated, The Idle Boy, by ALLA tiGfiAM, is somewhat in the style of OPIE, but by no Means a trvi! , ..l imitation ; it displa ) s aline breath of light, is well coloured, and there is a marl:ed expression of charaCter. LINN Ek, a . very eicellent Artist, and whose merit is the more extraor di nary, on account of his very juvenile period, - "does not merely sustain hi& reputation, but has made a considerable advance since last year. His chief picture,. a Landscape, somewhat in rhemantier.of RuYSDAEL, is an admir able proof of his attention to nature, and his. repug nance to all gaudy colouring. POCOCK 'makes a' conspicuous figure, and without knowing whether .he is a candidate for the premium,., we may fairly say, that he stands a good chance for obtaining it. His IVarcissus haS great beauty and force. His plc- ' tune of the Nun was. itnmediately purchased.--A Ferry-Loat, by CHALON, is a . very spirited and chaste produaion.—REYNOLDS seems to be gradually di- 1 vesting himself of that gloom which he probably i caught from too close an attention to RamaaANT 1 and has this year produced seine works that are free from that affe&ation of strong ShadoW. His picture I of the Weaver at W t ork is a very masterly pe r form- r ance, and is particularly, distinguished by the bold ! effea.of light from the window. The piatire ,:n- ! titled Asking leave of Marriage, by . CossE, is a work of exquisite skill.' The figures are. all admir ably conceived,' and 'the story wall told. This pic- 1 ture, in point of finishing, may rank With any mo dern works. • The only fault in it - is die declivity ! of the room, as it would be impossible for the per- sons on such a slope to -maintain their !fOoting.-- i But it is time for us to pay honiage to female merit. 4 The pieture of Clymene and her Daughters, mourn ing over the tomb of Phietsiz,• from-. Om), does great credit to th e t as t e and genius of Miss JA.ca.- 1 . ON, daughter• of Dr. Jaticsow: The 'figures are well drawn and well disposed. . 1 : he'Varied espres- sions of sorrow indicate i - o-ittetitiv& observation of pature, aad a due regard to•the respe6tive charaaers Introduced. The colouring is vivid, chaste, and harmonious, and the \cork altotr a cther is a powerful evidence of taste a n d g e ni us. We shalt, as oppor tunity serves, renew our obervations on the several produittions in this meritorious nursery of the British , Arts. . , It is said that Mr. SOANE, the Professor of Arehi tedure to the Royal Academy, has resolved to ap peal against the new bye-law passed by the Presi dent and Council of That Institution, prohibiting all cOtninents on the works of living Art.wts, as that law was founded on his animadversions upon the New Theatre in Covent-Garden. As the Royal Academy is more respectable for talents, as a gene ralbody, thin at any former period, and consists of men deservedly esteemed in private life, it is a mat ter at regret, as well as of surprize, that there should be among them such frequent causes'of dis srsion. lloAx.—Physicians, Surgeons, and Apothecaries; Jewellers, AuCtioneers, and Governesses; Poulterers, Pastry-cOoks, Undertakers, &c. have for the last four Mays besieged the house of Mr. HooKnAsi, 15, Old Bond-street, in consequence of two-penny and three-penny post letters, containing orders, appoint ments, &c. Indeed the hoax is by no.means on the wane ; and unless this paragraph should be noticed by those whom-it may concern, they maybe put to expence as Well as inconvenience. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD VISCOUNT 4IDMOUTH MY TAR p, The prospea of an intended . Bill being brought into Parliament by your Lordship, the ()Ned 'pt which is to check that spirit of Se6tarianism now unhappily so prevalent in this kingdom, must afford the highest satisfaetion to every one who is at all interested in the preservation of our venerable establishment. I - For myself, individually speaking, I rejoice that a subje& of such moment is espoused by a Nobleman of your Lordship's charaEter, which .has been uni-, formly acknowledge.) (even by those who may have materially dissented from . youl on questions of a po litical nature) •to be alike hoStile to bigotry.or pre judice in. matters of religious opinion. The Established Church has at present to contend with two grand leading evils :—First, the facility with which its opposers become initiated into. Cle rical Offices; upon which I shall merely observe,. that the circumst ance o f a man (i gnorant frequently of the very rudiments of his' native Grammar) ob taioing a License to preach the Gospel, by paying the paltry sum of sixpence, and therebytaining at • , once an indolent livelihood, and an exemption from serving his country in any situation, either civil or militwy), is one of too • 4 -reat importance for the Legislature supinely to .overlook any longer. , -sdly, I allude to the difficulty which the supporters of the establishment labour under in carrying forward any plans they may form for . its promotion and,de• fence, especially in the ereEtion of additioual places_ of worship. Your Lordship, I perceive, has in a great measure bent your attention to loth these objeets. Therois,;" however, a third point, which appears.to me of al most equal importance, and which has occasioned me to address this Letter ; namely, that in every • Church or Chapel of the establishment, now, or hereafter to be ereaed, a' greater degree of attention • should be paid to thecomfort and accommodation of the poorer classes of the community, than has hi therto been the_case. In large towns this'evil is felt in a peculiar degree, and of which Sectaries are ap •. pat curly well aware, by the zealous exertions which me/7 noceasingly use to secure the Lody of the poor to themselves. The remedy is obvious, and ;.vili,un doubtedly be best effected by adeqoate. funds being f, raised either fur the ereßion of Free Churches, or for purchasing in differetit places of worship skich a space as she'll be deemed sufficient for the reeption of the ii,jghtiouriqg p-or. I urge this arg ument mon- sttolOy from having carefully attended to the subjett ; and the, instances that have occurred to me, where. the latter plan has been acted upon, have baen generally found to - effe6t their intended objet in a most satisfaclory manner. I throw,out these .bints, with gremt deference, for your Lordship's consideration, and have, in conclu sion, only to hope, that your laudable exertions,. in defence of ti,e p ures t f orm of v.rorship eveirsta- Wished in the world, may, under thu blessing of . Heaven, bu crowned with the most abundant success. I beg leave-to subscribe myself, Your Lordship's obedient Servant, - Fetnthry ;26, 1 . 8 to. A LAYMAN. JAMAICA PAPERS. SURREY ASSIZE COURT. Kingston, f anuzity ri. • .0n Alonday came on the trial of Capt. Thomas Mendenhall, of the A mer i can schooner Glee; for the murder of Henry Jarvis, seaman, on board the Said vessel, on the 1 sth of August last. It appear- - ed in evidence, that the deceased had been on board a brig in the hat bour, where he had drank until he .became inebriated, and on his return to the . Glee, ..he went up - 10 Captain Mendenhall; and demanded grog, _which the latter 'tefustd, telling him be had got enough already, and desired him to go below; upon which he used very insulting lan guage, .and Captain Mendenhall slightly Chastised him with a rope's end: The deceased then became quite outrageous, doubled his fist; rushed towards Captain Mendenhall in the most menacing mnnner, saying he was one man and Captain. Mendenhall. another, and-that hie would have his blood ; when, the latter snatched ill) , a 'scrubbing brush that was lying close at hand, with which he struck the de ceased the mortal blow. Captain Mendenhall itn rdediatelywent in his boat and procured medicaras sistance, and expressed sincere sorrow in finding that the wound . would prove mortal.
